  Fair point.  As CLL says, ref'iuze "is the name of the number
two-sevenths; it is not the same as ``the result of 2 divided by 7''
in Lojban, although numerically these two are equal." (it also laters
says that 1/2 is not the same as 3/6.  So as soon as you tell me what
paici'ino'otu'o means unambiguously, I"ll tell you what mufi'uxace'i
means...  It seems to me that if you wanted it to evaluate to  5/(6%),
you should use mu fi'u {no} pi no xa
